Anyone use or have a small block double groove AC idler pulley?

I could swear my car had one back in the day, and that when i was 18 pulled it off and chucked it, since it was frozen. I have this mystery bracket that fits the two driver side water pump bolt holes and has a threaded welded on nut. Looks like it could hold a 2.5 to 3.5 inch idler pulley. anyways, the reason I'm asking if anyone is running one is because my inside ac/alternator belt has always rubbed very slightly on the water pump housing. Now that i have a bigger housing pump, its a problem and and i need an idler pulley on that side so it will kick the belts out at an angle from the crank pulley.

Let me know if you have one and if you do could you post up some pictures!
 
This is strange. The other day, a member here asked about a 4 groove water pump pulley and now this guy ls looking for a 2 groove idler?
It is as if the Twilight Zone of pulley questions.
I have not seen either of these pulleys before.
 
Your plan to kick the belts out at an angle isn’t a good long term good idea.

April 1st is tomorrow.

LOL, its no different than the angle from the crank pulley to the alternator!
 
So you don’t mean angled sideways then.
